Hmmm so what happened this week? Let me see looking back into the files of my mind...
So as i said last week Elder Davis got wicked sick, and we were supposed to go to manchester for meetings.. Well about an hour before we were supposed to leave i had to decide for him that he was too sick to go. He was gonna still try to go, but there was no way i was sitting in an 18 passenger van for 3 hours with him throwing up the whole time. So we went and got the Burlington Elders and they stayed and babysat him
for monday and tuesday.
Elder Poll took me to meet the van in montpelier and then we started our journey to manchester! Im not gonna lie i got pretty comfortable not having a companion for a while. Technically didnt have a companion, but i chose my own comps once we got to the meeting. Elder Wells, Elder Lund and i made ourselves into a trio. We tried to convince president that he should let us stay in the trio for the rest of the transfer but he wasnt gonna go for that. Had a great time partying with elder wells though, we have decided that heavenly father is way to smart to ever have us be companions. We get along far to well. But we did make some pretty awesome party plans for when we get home.
The meeting was really good. I would say it is one of the better ones i have been too. We now have a new temple attendance policy, and im telling you all before i even tell the zone. (waiting to tell them on thursday at zone conference) So the policy before as you know was that we couldnt go at all until the day before we leave the mission. Well now we get to go once every 6 months. If we are serving within 2 hours of boston we get to go. So no one serving in vermont gets to go, but no worries im not going to be here for a whole lot longer!
So my back has been pretty rough for the past few weeks. And sometimes when my back gets bad i tend to start to get really down on things. I felt very strongly that i needed to have President give me a blessing on tuesday so i did. And can i just say it was probably the top moment of my mission thus far. It was the most amazing blessing. I think i probably learned more about myself and my life than i did in my patriarchal blessing. It was just really amazing to get to share that moment with President Stoker. I love that man. Love President Wilkey, but i can honestly say that i am now closer with President Stoker than i ever was with President Wilkey. He is such an amazing man, and i am so blessed to be able to work with him! Of course i dont know exactly what is going to happen in two weeks with transfers, but president made it pretty clear that my life is going to get a bit more crazy here soon with this new transfer. Hes got something up his sleeve! Guess we will see what happens!
So our investigators... everyone has pretty much fallen off the face of the earth! Its kind of a bum deal. But its all good because our one sister is so solid and is gonna be baptized the 22nd. Her interview is tomorrow so that is awesome! we are also going to start teaching her boy friend tonight, so maybe something awesome will come of that!
We were doing some service at the salvation army this week and we found some plaid pants. Yup you heard correctly plaid pants. we couldnt help but buy them. we each got two pair so we turned one pair into cut off shorts. Pictures to follow.
Technically we have 12 people in our teaching pool right now! Dont see them all frequently, but its still pretty cool. When i got here we had 2 investigators! The lord makes miracles happen when you work hard.
Sure do love you guys.
Hold to the rod
